Showing results for "the place" in Westerns

Grace Montgomery is the oldest of five sisters…and the only one who isn’t married. At 24, she’s tired of pitying looks and being called a spinster. Desperate, she accepts the proposal of a much older man. As the date for the wedding draws near, she realizes she’s made a terrible mistake. She cannot marry this man. It would be like marrying her father. She flees and boards a train with no destination in mind.

With both parents working all hours and four younger brothers at home, the care and keeping of the household is squarely on her shoulders. When her father forces her to find a job in addition to everything else, it proves to be too much. Desperate for a way out, Mandy agrees to become a mail-order bride and marry a man she’s never met—a ranch hand named Matthew Bostwick, in Mine’s Place, Colorado. But traveling from Boston to Colorado is just the beginning of Mandy’s journey.

Laura Bailey doesn’t know where to turn. With her trust in her family crushed by betrayal, she throws herself on the mercy of a matrimonial agency. Before she knows it, she’s on her way to Mine’s Place, Colorado, seeking only a marriage of convenience–and a new start.
